Who is Gordon Ramsay?
Gordon Ramsay was born in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Scotland, on November 8, 1966. His family relocated to England when he was five years old, and he was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. He is the youngest of four children. Because of his father’s ambitions and career setbacks, his family relocated frequently when he was a child. His father was a violent alcoholic and womanizer at times.
Ramsay moved out of his family’s home and into his own apartment when he was 16 years old. Ramsay was a good football/soccer player as a teen, but his playing days were cut short by injuries. Ramsay had developed an interest in cooking by this point. He enrolled in the Hotel Management program at North Oxfordshire when he was 19 years old.

What is Gordon Ramsay’s career?
Ramsay served as a commis chef at the Wroxton House Hotel in the mid-1980s. He went on to manage the Wickham Arms’ kitchen and 60-seat dining room. He subsequently relocated to London, where he worked in a number of restaurants until finding a job at Harvey’s with the renowned volatile chef Marco Pierre White. He worked at Harvey’s for two years and ten months until becoming dissatisfied with White’s “rages, bullying, and violence.” R
amsay opted to learn French cooking and proceeded to work in Mayfair for Albert Roux and Le Gavroche, where he met Jean-Claude Breton, who is now his maitre d’hotel at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. Roux recruited Ramsay to work at Le Gavroche after a year there.
Ramsay moved to London after a year as a private chef on a boat and was given the head chef position at La Tante Claire in Chelsea under three-Michelin-starred chef Pierre Koffman. Soon after, Ramsay’s previous boss, Marco Pierre White, offered him the position of head chef (in exchange for a 10% stake) at the Rossmore, which he renamed Aubergine and gained his first Michelin star 14 months later. Aubergine got its second Michelin star in 1997. Ramsay quit the partnership in the summer of 1998 due to differences about the company’s direction.
Ramsay started his own restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, in London’s Chelsea neighborhood the same year. The restaurant received its third Michelin star in 2001, making Ramsay the first Scotsman to do so.
His empire grew fast from there. He created (and closed) a number of well-known restaurants, debuted his US-based TV show “Hell’s Kitchen,” became a Food Network regular, and conquered the globe one dinner plate at a time. He owns restaurants in Dubai, Tokyo, London, New York City, Ireland, Canada, and, until 2015, West Hollywood, California, in the famed London Hotel on Sunset Boulevard.
